That's what the water changes are for. If they're complete water changes, then he wouldn't need filtration necessarily. I do not recommend this approach, but I would recommend it over the 1g approach for Tiger. However, eventually, yes, he would need filtration and the larger tank would presumedly have that.

I'd have to know the length of the intake, the height of the unfilled portion of the bucket, and the filter type to know for sure, but I believe you.
Just remember that some of the bucket has to be left unfilled or else Tiger will jump.

Fish just jump sometimes. Even pond experts like Stephen Meyer (Aquarium Fish Magazine author) have had jumpers from absolutely wonderful holding tanks.
I should clarify. He might jump either way, but his jumping would be out of the bucket if he doesn't have enough room to stay safely within...Also, a cover might help.
